Mozilla 1.7.1 on WinXP SP2 in IE6 Spoof Mode. Perhaps you should learn
how UA's actually work before you ask questions like that. If you had
bothered to look at the code in the page, and paid attention to the
remarks in the code, and viewed it in more than one browser, you would
not be asking this question.
And, what "works" for you is not a good indication of a "working
script". But since you asked, put Opera 7 in IE Spoof Mode, open that
page, then open a "dHTML popup" and move it around......
